Which math CLEP exam? College Mathematics and the other three

There are four math CLEP exams, and the one called College Mathematics is for students who aren’t majoring in math or in a field that needs advanced math. It has about 60 questions in 90 minutes with a scientific calculator on screen, and ACE recommends 3 semester hours for a score of 50. If your degree needs algebra or calculus credit, pick the math CLEP exam that matches that course instead.

Is there a CLEP statistics exam?

No. Statistics isn’t one of the 34 CLEP subjects. The closest is College Mathematics, where data analysis and statistics make up about 15% of the questions. Don’t count on it standing in for a statistics course unless your college’s CLEP policy says it does.
